Full description and what we offer

Carr's Waterfowl operates guided hunts across Virginia and Kansas with a deep focus on positioning hunters where the birds actually are. The operation started with canvasbacks—and those waters still deliver—but the real strength is in diversity and seasonal strategy.

Potomac River Blinds - Private stationary blinds near Woodbridge, mostly around tidal areas and refuge impoundments - Early season: mallards, black ducks, pintails, gadwalls, ring necks, widgeon - Cold weather: canvasbacks, redheads, lesser scaup, greater scaup - Accommodates 5-6 shooters per blind - Bonus: Canada geese on most duck hunts

Inland Swamps & Ponds - Early season wood ducks, teal, resident mallards - Later season: migrating mallards and black ducks pour in - Well-off-the-beaten-path with user-friendly blind access - Limited to 4 hunters per blind for puddle duck hunts - Box blinds and permanently fixed A-frame blinds

Central Virginia Field Hunts - Farms in Orange, Fauquier, and Culpeper counties - Evening hunts with full moon backdrop over the piedmont - A-frames and layout blinds based on client mobility
